28Whereupon the kingH4428 took counselH3289, and madeH6213 twoH8147 calvesH5695 of goldH2091; and he saidH559 unto them, It is tooH7227 muchH7227 for you to goH5927 up to JerusalemH3389: behold thy godsH430, O IsraelH3478, which broughtH5927 thee up out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 29And he setH7760 the oneH259 in Beth-el, and the other putH5414 he in DanH1835. 30And this thingH1697 becameH1961 a sinH2403; for the peopleH5971 went to worship before the oneH259, even unto DanH1835. 31And he madeH6213 housesH1004 of highH1116 placesH1116, and madeH6213 priestsH3548 from among all the peopleH5971, that were not of the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878. 32And JeroboamH3379 ordained a feastH2282 in the eighthH8066 monthH2320, on the fifteenth dayH3117 of the monthH2320, like unto the feastH2282 that is in JudahH3063, and he wentH5927 up unto the altarH4196; soH3651 did he in Beth-el, sacrificingH2076 unto the calvesH5695 that he had madeH6213: and he placed in Beth-el the priestsH3548 of the highH1116 placesH1116 that he had madeH6213.
